Okay, I spoke with a dear friend of mine, and she told me of some that she liked. She's a writer herself, and I told her to post here, too. So hopefully she will.

I'll start with two.

They're song lyrics by the one, but the second one kind of has the structure more of a poem. But lyrics are a form of poetry, so it works. X3

Tears

[Verse 1]
Hidden behind the shadows
My mask of lies
Broken by your truth
Shattered my disguise

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm but another puppet
In this simple play
You sliced the marionette strings
And stole me away

[Chorus]
I'm listening for a truth
Now that I am a lie
The dreams which break at my feet
All the wishes that die

These drops of sorrow
Falling one by one
A bullet in my soul
A reflection of twilight sun

[Verse 2]
An ocean of blood
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The innocence reborn in me
Along with hatred and lust

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A web under the pale moon
The threads coated in dew
Crimson stars of phoenix ash
My faith lies within you

[Chorus]
I'm listening for a truth
Now that I am a lie
The dreams which break at my feet
All the wishes that die

These drops of sorrow
Falling one by one
A bullet in my soul
A reflection of twilight sun

[Bridge]
The thorns entwined about my wrists
Slicing the flesh, drawing the blood
You are there to be my tourniquet
My immortal savior, stop the flood

Flowers bloom into this acid rain
Something has risen, a raging pain
I need to find my sanity
For there is no pride in being insane

[Chorus]
I'm listening for a truth
Now that I am a lie
The dreams which break at my feet
All the wishes that die

These drops of sorrow
Falling one by one
A bullet in my soul
A reflection of twilight sun

This one has no chorus, so it's more like poem. But I've seen many songs like this. So, I still count it as song lyrics.
Asylum

A whisper of silence
A reminder of past mistakes
Those ghosts who haunt you
The regrets as you lay awake

Trapped in darkness
Not a window to light your way
"Leave me be, I'm not insane!"
Yet they care not for what you say

Those long hours of loneliness
Shackled and caged
A prisoner of the lies
Unforgiven prices to pay

Your haven a betrayal
Given only by a virus in your blood
Become numb to their chains
In your locked abyss of deceit

Trapped in darkness
(A crepuscular oasis)
Not a window to light your way
(No risen luminescence)
"Leave me be, I'm not insane!"
(Your desperate cry)
Yet they care not for what you say
(Unconcerned for the unforgiven)

Await the eternal fate
Your regrets shall be your demise
Those immortal ghosts
